Pixel 2 owners report warm temps, low battery life after update

Georgia Schneider

A toasty phone isn't the only problem users are experiencing; it seems the security patch has also negatively affected the battery life of some Pixel 2 handsets. Some users of these Google-made smartphones are also reporting that the device runs warm after downloading this update.

The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are now available on Flipkart and from select retail stores with up to Rs 10,000 cashback from Citibank.

If you own a Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL, do let us know in comments whether your devices are exhibiting odd behavior after the update. I've checked it's not a recently downloaded app, I've uninstalled all the apps I downloaded before it started getting hot just to check.It gets fairly warm nearly instantly after starting to use it, within about a minute or so of anything really. Anyone got any advice? And as for battery life is concerned, it has been reduced around 20% than before. Up front, the smartphone from Google makes use of a 8 MP Camera selfie camera. Google is yet to comment on the issue. As the issue gains traction, however, we expect the company will address it before long.
